32 Cards

Introduction

I first saw the game 32 Cards at the Slotastic Internet casino on June 26, 2025. It is a simple game where the player chooses which of four betting positions will have the highest total.

Rules

  1. A 32-card deck is used, with ranks only 6 to K.
  2. Point values are as follows: 6 to 10 = pip value, J = 11, Q = 12, K = 13
  3. There are four betting spots titled 8, 9, 10, 11
  4. After betting is closed, the dealer will deal a card to each of the four betting spots.
  5. The score of each betting spot shall be the sum of the card dealt to that betting spot and the number of that betting spot. For example, if betting spot 8 got dealt a Q, then it would have 8+12=20 points.
  6. The spot with the greatest points shall win.
  7. In the event of a tie, additional cards shall be dealt to those positions that were involved in the tie until the tie is broken.
  8. Winning bets pay as follows:
    • Winning bets on spot 8 pay 11 to 1.
    • Winning bets on spot 9 pay 4.5 to 1.
    • Winning bets on spot 10 pay 2.2 to 1.
    • Winning bets on spot 11 pay 1 to 1.

Example

 

After the initial four cards were dealt the scores were:

  • Spot 8 = 17
  • Spot 9 = 20
  • Spot 10 = 20
  • Spot 11 = 19

There was a tie between spots 9 and 10 with 20 points each. After an additional card was dealt to the two tying spots, the adjusted scores were:

  • Spot 8 = 17
  • Spot 9 = 27
  • Spot 10 = 26
  • Spot 11 = 19

Spot 9 won with 27 points.

Analysis

The following table shows the probability and expected return from all four bets.
